Hillary Clinton has won the Democratic Primary in Arkansas, the state where she was First Lady alongside her husband, former Arkansas Governor and U.S. President Bill Clinton.

The win is not a surprise, as Clinton was leading the state, which she won in 2008 against Barack Obama.

This is the latest state Clinton has won on Super Tuesday; she has also claimed victory in Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia, and Georgia.

Arkansas has voted for Republicans in the past four presidential elections, but some think that if Clinton is the Democratic nominee, she could put it back in play. That would be a big help in a potentially close election.
